Gary took the application form（申请表）downstairs.

“You look very serious this morning, Gary,” said his Mum.

“I was thinking about how to get into the Crossbridge Football Academy（学院）,” said Gary.

“But it is too late now.” said Mum.

“No, I can take the test again in six weeks, but if I pass, I will have to pay. It says so on the form.” said Gary.

“Let me have a look,” said Dad. His dad examined the form. He frowned（皱眉）when he looked at the cost.

“What do you think?” He said passing the form to Gary's mum.

“Well,” said his mum, “we can afford to pay some of the cost, but not all of it. We could pay half. You could pay the other half. You could get a job, but what about the test? Do you think you can pass it?”

Gary thought for a moment “No problem, Mum,” he said, “I’ll pass the test and I’ll get a job. I am sure I can enter the Crossbridge Football Academy. You’ll see!”

In his room, Gary opened his Maths book and stared at the page in front of him. He closed his Maths book and opened his English book. He read a few pages, then he closed his book. He sighed（叹气）. He knew he didn`t do well in them. He wondered _______.

Crossbridge Football Academy was a large modern school, built on the edge of town. There was a huge football field, a swimming pool and a coffee shop in it. Matt, Joe and Karen sat in the coffee shop there at the end of their first day at the Crossbridge Football Academy. The cafeteria was full of young people laughing and chattering.

“I think they are enjoying themselves,” said Matt.

“Well, I didn’t enjoy myself,” said Joe.

“Neither did I,” said Matt. “Something is missing.”

“Gary is missing,” said Joe.

“It's not the same without him,” said Karen.

“Oh, your poor children,” said a voice. Rick was standing by their table. “You are all alone and your friend is far away. Gary isn’t coming here. He is so stupid. Just forget him.” Rick walked away with these words.

“We need to do something for Gary,” said Karen.

“I have got a plan,” said Matt.

Organic（有机的）farming is a wonderful try for anyone who would like to grow beautiful and tasty vegetables on their own land in an environmentally friendly way. Farmers must use natural methods to make plants grow strong, protect them from insects（昆虫）and remove weeds（杂草）in the land.

Fertilizers（肥料）are chemicals that makes plants grow better. If a farmer grows the same plant over and over in the same place, the soil will lose its ability to feed the plant. The farmer must add fertilizer to help the soil. Organic farmers do not add fertilizer. They will use animal manure（粪肥）and plant compost（混合肥）to make the soil rich again.

Pesticides（杀虫剂）are also avoided. These are chemicals that kill pests（害虫）like bad insects or animals. Organic farmers have other ways to deal with pests because pesticides kill good animals and insects that protect the plants. Foxes and snakes eat the mice. Some insects like ladybirds eat the bad insects.

And of course there are weeds. These are the plants that farmers do not want because they steal growing space from the good plants. To stop weeds, organic farmers can scrape（翻）the soil several times. Finally, the weeds will die.

Organic farming usually needs a lot of human labour to do the job of chemicals. This is one reason that organic food costs more. But when we think about the health of the earth, its plants, and its animals, perhaps it is worth it. In the end, a healthy planet means that we will be healthy, too.

38. The characteristic of organic farming is that there is no ________.

A. chemical         B. weed         C. pest         D. human labor

39. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Organic food is usually more expensive than common food.

B. Organic farmers put animal manure on the land.

C. Pesticides can kill both pests and good animals and insects.

D. Scraping the soil is avoided by organic farming.

40. The best title of the passage is _________.

A. Organic Farming         B. Organic Farmers        C. Organic Food         D. Organic Fertilizers

VI.任务型阅读（共10小题;每小题2分,满分20分）

阅读下面短文,根据要求完成下列问题

A

The traditional Chinese lunar calendar（阴历）divides a year into 24 solar terms（节气）. Clear and Bright（清明）, the 5th solar term, starts on April 5 and ends on April 19 this year.

Of all the 24 solar terms, Clear and Bright is the only one whose first day is also a traditional Chinese festival, Qingming Festival or Tomb-Sweeping Day. The words “clear” and “bright” describe the weather during this period. Temperatures begin to rise and rainfall increases, making it an important time for plowing（耕）and sowing（播种）in the spring.

Clear and Bright is a period when Chinese people show respect for nature and the ancestors（祖先）of the Chinese nation. As a result, cleaning the tombs is an important practice to remember the dead.

In many parts of China, eating eggs during Tomb-Sweeping Day is as important as eating moon cakes at Mid-Autumn Festival. People believe that eating an egg on Tomb-Sweeping Day will bring good health all year. In China, this custom has lasted for thousands of years.

The origin of eating eggs dates back to “Shangsi Jie”（a traditional Chinese festival）. In ancient times, women who want to have babies after marriage often colored boiled eggs with different colors and put them into the river, and people living in the lower reaches of the river picked the eggs up and ate them. It was said that the more eggs were eaten, the greater the chance the woman will have a baby. Today, people believe that eating eggs on Tomb-Sweeping Day will also bring success.

根据上面短文内容,回答下列问题（每小题答案不超过6个单词）。

61. When does the solar term, Clear and Bright start this year?

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

62. What do the words “clear” and “bright” describe?

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

63. How do Chinese people remember the dead during Clear and Bright?

64. How long has the custom about eating eggs on Tomb-Sweeping Day lasted?

Poyang Lake is the largest freshwater lake in China. The warm environment makes it a key habitat（栖息地）and wintering ground for the Siberian crane and other rare waterfowl（水鸟）. About 310 species（物种）of birds live in the lake.

Every winter, Siberian cranes migrate（迁徙）from northeast Siberia in Russia to Poyang Lake in Jiangxi province, China. About 95 percent of the birds spend the season there. However, climate change has endangered the birds’ habitats.

“In some years, the Poyang Lake experiences floods, while in others, it experiences droughts（干旱）. Both of these create food shortages（短缺）in the cranes` habitat,” Qian Fawen, a researcher from the National Bird Banding Center of China, told China Daily.

To help deal with the problem, the local government has built 70 hectares（公顷）of lotus roots（莲藕）in Nanchang to provide the cranes with food during the winter. There are more than 5,000 Siberian cranes now.

Over the years, China has worked hard to protect migratory（迁徙的）birds and wetlands. The Wetlands Protection Law was introduced on June 1, 2022. It stops building work on important national wetlands and bans（禁止）activities such as overgrazing（过度放牧）and giving out waste water.

Because of these efforts, China has reported more birds wintering in the nation`s wetlands. In February, black-faced spoonbills（黑脸琵鹭）, an endangered species, were seen wintering at Dongting Lake after disappearing for five years. Last December, Shanghai Chongming Dongtan Bird National Nature Reserve recorded more than 2,900 tundra swans（小天鹅）up from some 1,000 seen during the winter of 2021.

根据上面短文内容填空。

66. As China’s _______lake, Poyang Lake is home to about 310 species of birds _______its warm environment.

67. Every year, about 95 percent of the cranes spend ______in Poyang Lake. However, _______has endangered the cranes’ habitats.

68. _______Qian Fawen, a researcher from the National Bird Banding Center of China, floods and droughts _______to the cranes’ food shortages in the cranes’ habitat.

69. The local government has built 70 hectares of lotus roots to ______the cranes. As a result, _______the Siberian cranes is more than 5000 now.

70. Because of China’s efforts, for example, the ________of the Wetlands Protection Law on June 1, 2022, the nation`s wetlands are ________ more and more migratory birds.
